Learning from Abroad: How Australia Is Solving Its Racial Inequality Problem
26th June 2020
Most countries today have a problem with Statistical Racial Inequality: not all groups are as accomplished in each particular field as some other groups.
Australia, however, is apparently solving its racial inequality problem by letting white people, like this neurologist, declare themselves to be Aboriginals.
To a large degree this happens in the U.S. as sell. The traditional ‘brown paper bag and ruler’ test that ‘black’ people apply to each other gives extra prestige points for white ancestry in the ‘black community’ itself; look at the membership of the Congressional Black Caucus and see how many of its members obviously have more European than African ancestry — if Congressman Butterfield has more than 1/16 ‘black’ ancestry he certainly doesn’t show it. (I’d love to see DNA tests on all of the most prominent ‘African-Americans’, who in most other mixed-race countries — like Brazil — would be classed as ‘white’.)
